Why do that? Can't you just put the BIOS update on the USB drive and just update through the BIOS itself? That's what I do, and I find it much safer than doing it through Windows because a Windows update happening could ruin everything (and since I rarely boot into Windows, that's a pretty high chance of happening).

Some motherboard vendors may not distribute them that way, but if they do, that's my preferred route.
